    Question

    An increase in the inventory holding period, all else

    being equal, will:
    A Shorten the cash conversion cycle. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Lengthen the cash conversion cycle. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Have no effect on the cash conversion cycle. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Improve the quick ratio. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) = Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) - Days Payable Outstanding (DPO). An increase in the inventory holding period (DIO) directly increases the CCC, meaning the company's cash is tied up in working capital for a longer time.
